As we get ready to say goodbye to 2014, I would like to say thank you to all of our fabulous crafty friends that have played along with our challenges this year.

Our final challenge for the 2014 year is called ANOTHER HAPPY NEW YEAR. Let's ring in 2015 and create a NEW YEAR'S project.

Here is my New Year's Card using a digital image New Year's Lush from Whimsie Doodles.

Happy Wednesday to everyone and welcome to another fun challenge at Little Red Wagon! Joanne here with this week's challenge which is Things with Wings. I would like to see something with wings on your card or project.

Given the season that we are in, I decided to create a card featuring a sweet little Christmas fairy.

The digi image is from All Dressed Up and is called Happy Christmas Little Star. Isn't she a darling?

For more inspiration, be sure to stop by each of the DT Girlfriend's blogs. Then create your own card or project that includes something with wings and link it up below! I can't wait to see what you create! Then stop back next Tuesday to see if your card has been featured.

Also, our Design Team Call is still on until December 15th. If you are interested in applying to be a part of our team, you see all the details HERE.

Good Wednesday morning. It is that time again here at Little Red Wagon for a new weekly challenge. I, Heather, am your hostess this week for your challenge entitled "WISHY WASHI". I jumped on the washi tape band wagon and bought many rolls late last year that I never got a chance to use. This was my perfect opportunity and I like the end result. I used my washi tape in a very traditional way by making these banners both on the outside and inside of my card.

I am looking forward to seeing all of the great ways you use your washi tape this week on a project. I will be checking them all out and posting the top three or so that catch my eye next Tuesday.

And, don't forget about our design team call. If you are interested all the details and how to apply are at this post HERE.

Wow! I am in complete awe of all of the fabulous layers. I had so much fun checking out the beautiful creations you shared this past week. There were so many variations of layers it was really hard to choose my features.

So, because I am way too indecisive this week, here are my features for our LAYER IT UP challenge.

Congratulation on your features this week. Please grab the featured badge from our sidebar to display on your blogs. Thank you to everyone for playing along with our challenge. Be sure to come back tomorrow to check out Heather's fun challenge.

I don't know about you, but where I am, winter is already upon us. The kids are heading to school in full snow gear and snow shovels are already getting a workout. With the chilly weather in mind, my challenge for you this week is to LAYER IT UP!

That's right crafty peeps, head to your stash and pull our your paper and lots of it. Grab your embellishments and get ready to load'em up! However you want to create your layers is up to you, but there is no CAS here this week!

For my layered card I used a sweet image from The Paper Nest Dolls called Elf Ellie. Add to that, card stock (black and red), pattern paper (Pebble Home for Christmas) and a number of fun embellishments and we are well layered!

I didn't officially count all of the layer, but there is a lot on the outside........

And more on the inside (Your Next Stamp Holiday Sentiments)!

Don't forget to check out the inspiration the that other Girlfriends are sharing. Link up your LAYER IT UP projects below and then stop back on Tuesday to check out the challenge features.

Hi there, Jayne here with this weeks challenge and NO........we have not altered the tone and theme of our challenges here at Little Red Wagon, as my title may suggest! That's just my feeble attempt at a little witticism whilst presenting a challenge for 'Monochromatic' creations this week.

For anyone who's unsure of exactly what I mean, I'd like you to choose one colour for your project (neutral whites, creams, black etc. are also allowed) then create using a variety of shades in your chosen hue.

Just to be clear.......it is not mandatory to use 50 shades!

For my sample I took the clean and simple route and created a single layer card, although in reality there's cardstock, ribbon, patterned paper, foam dots, and more cardstock so I guess it's not one layer at all!

However I did make a head start on my Christmas cards so this makes me happy.

I'm also a little sad, as this will be my final challenge here at Little Red Wagon.

I've thoroughly enjoyed my time serving on the Design Team over the last couple of years, and I have been grateful for the constant source of inspiration shared by my fellow Girlfriends and those who have participated in our challenges. However life's busy schedule means it's time for me to move on.

I hope you'll be able to join us with this weeks challenge as I look forward to 'hopping' by your blogs to share a little love. Don't forget to link up below and I'll be back on Tuesday with my Featured Faves.

Happy Wednesday, all! This week we've got an easy one for you. We want to see a project that uses kraft cardstock. You can use a little or a lot, as long as you've got a speck of kraft on your project, it's in!

I went the "a lot" route and this is what I did.....

If you'd like more inspiration be sure to check out the wonderful projects the Girlfriends have created. Then, head back here and add your project to Mister Linky.

Thank you to everyone who played along with our challenge this week. I loved seeing all the sweet baby-themed cards! As usual, it was hard to pick my favourites, but here are a couple that really stood out.

Welcome

Welcome to Little Red Wagon, a fun place to challenge your creativity!

Each Wednesday, one of The Girlfriends will post a new challenge that we hope will inspire you to try something different with your scrapbooking supplies. Then on the following Tuesday, we will feature our favourites from those who played along. Have fun and enjoy the ride!

The Story

One day a group of girlfriends got together to play with their papers, stamps, markers, ribbons, buttons and the rest of their seemingly endless supply of other 'have-to-have' scrapbooking and card making goodies. It was so much fun to talk, share, laugh and create with each other that they decided to create a blog that would motivate, inspire and challenge them on a weekly basis to use some of the supplies they have acquired. They also thought it would be fun to have all the other girlfriends out there join in and share their creations based on the weekly challenges. So, grab your wagon full of goodies (we know you have one!), get creative and have fun!
